It’s not everyday that you’re sent a cake, and let me tell you, the Madame Valerie Gateau is pretty spectacular…
Chocolate and Love
Chocolate and Love. Two of my favourite things, wrapped up in the prettiest packaging. One thing I’m not giving up this New Year is chocolate – not when it tastes this good…
DIY Christmas Gift Jars
The countdown to Christmas has officially begun!
I’m spending this cold and frosty Thursday evening late night shopping with a friend which I’m really excited about. I love this time of year. I’ve been watching the Christmas 24 movie channel religiously for the past month so it’s fair to say that I’m feeling festive. It’s the time to dig out the Michael Buble Christmas album, stock up on chocolate coins and get your shopping skates on to start all that Christmas shopping. This year will be slightly different to usual as I’ve decided to cut back on buying presents…
Picnic in the Park with HomeSense
Picnic season in the UK is sporadic. There isn’t a particular month that shines brighter than the other, you just need to prepare yourself for a spontaneous afternoon here and there.
A few Sunday’s ago the sun came out so I made some last minute picnic plans with a friend. We made a quick dash to the supermarket for food essentials before heading off in the direction of our local park.

There’s something special about waking up on a Sunday morning – the smell of brunch, a fresh cup of coffee and usually a day of adventure ahead. They don’t usually involve trips to the salon for medi-pedi’s…
Blossoming Gifts Review
It’s a rare occasion that I buy myself flowers. Usually I gift them to friends and family for birthdays and as thank you gestures, so you can imagine just how happy I was when this bouquet from Blossoming Gifts turned up on my doorstep. Autumn, you have never looked more beautiful.
Nokia Lumia 830 Review
As someone who is usually attached to her phone (#bloggerproblems), it’s easy to understand why I was excited when Microsoft approached me to trial one of their Windows phones for a couple of weeks.
Alfresco Dining with HomeSense
Recently a few friends and I enjoyed fun, food and frolics by the sea at the Sidmouth Folk Festival. The weather was glorious (before it took a grey turn for the worst the following afternoon, in typical British summertime fashion) so we enjoyed our first evening by the coast sat in the garden with bubbles, sangria, and one helluva fabulous feast!
